Yesterday was a busy day! We had unexpected guests, my nephew and his family, spend the night Wednesday on their way to the beach. It was a pleasure to have them visit but threw us into a bit of a tail spin. Then we had sports events for both of the grandsons...baseball and soccer...last evening. luckily they were home games and only 5 minutes from our house.No stitching to share...no time...but I did manage to squeak in a trip to Hobby Lobby, just to wander the aisles. I haven't really been anywhere except the doctor and my daughters in two weeks. It was nice to enjoy the beautiful day. I did pick up a few items that were on sale.

The boards are about 3 x 4"

Before I got sick in NC, I managed to visit a couple thrift stores with my daughter and picked up a few goodies. I wasn't sure what the first "hoop" was but found out it's for quilting along the edge of a quilt. I was drawn to the fabric AND it was only $4.50.
A cool pair of spools...about 12" tall.
A pair of spring tension hoops. I've never used these and not sure I'm going to like them. The space between the handles doesn't get tight. Am I missing something???
I wasn't able to attend the grand reopening of Salty Yarns in April, but a friend of mine picked up a few items for me.

Last but not least.....a friend sent me this lovely bouquet for Mother's Day. Can you believe it is paper??? It is amazingly realistic! After I got it, I sent one to my Mom!
